DECLARING THE PERIOD FROM NOVEMBER 30 TO DECEMBER 6, 1948, AS FAMILY WEEK

WHEREAS, the Filipino family, repository of the
cherished traditions of the race, is the basic foundation of our nation; and

WHEREAS, to make that foundation stronger and
more enduring, it is necessary that family consciousness be aroused in the
minds of our people;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby declare
the period from November 30 to December 6, 1948, as Family Week, and I call
upon all our citizens, churches, schools and civic organizations to observe the
same with appropriate ceremonies to the end that the beauty and integrity of
the Filipino family may be treasured forever.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done in the City of Manila, this 19th day of
November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the third.

ELPIDIO QUIRINO
